It's almost as if she went through a hideously protracted and painful process trying to reform health care once...
One thing that absolutely fuels progressive disillusion is an inability to actually understand the opponent. Republicans, at least at higher levels, are really smart about understanding liberal rhetoric, tactics, and venues and twisting them to sell the stereotype downstream. Assuming that radio isn't a huge source of conservative rhetoric and ideology is misunderstanding and underestimating the reach of conservative tactics.
PPP North Carolina poll from August 12-13 from 508 NC voters, 40% Dem, 40% GOP, 20% Independent
Trump approval rating: 45-52 (46-49 from PPP poll from June 20th), 36-59 among Independents (43-51 from June 20th poll)
Cooper approval rating: 48-33 (40-41 from June 20th poll), 29-55 from Repub voters (11-75 from June 20th poll), 43-26 among Independents (36-36 from June 20th poll)
Rest of poll
Ugh that's gonna give the hicks a nice little talking point to get all juiced up on even though it really doesn't matter.
Also is KG actually still running for pres? Why...
I'm not misunderstanding the tactics or the venue. I'm a child of the 80's and I saw first hand the idea take hold. I'm arguing that it's not as effective as it was previously because they're now preaching to the choir. Moving forward if they want to convince the more liberal gen x, millennial, z electorate, radio won't be as effective. The tactics you're speaking to filter down, to people who aren't as engaged, through social media and the state tv far more effectively than Rush Limbaugh
Jeff Jackson will not run against Tillis in 2020, I think the plan is getting back the majority with redistricting with Common Cause v. Lewis, get some stuff done i.e. Medicaid Expansion to shore up support, then he'll run in 2022 when Burr retires.
Probably for the best - Cal Cunningham is looking like our best recruit here unless Janet Cowell decides to jump in.
Seems as though Cooper is going to waltz to re-election as well, which is excellent. If our presidential nominee wins the state, I think it's very likely we'll win a majority in the state legislature, especially if the Supreme Court (now 6-1 Democratic partly thanks to the Republican supermajority's antics) rules in our favor on the redistricting case moving through the courts.
the only silver lining to SCOTUS' decision on gerrymandering is that, at least in a case like this, Republicans have nowhere to appeal to if the NC Supreme Court rules in favor on the redistricting case.
Buyback of assault weapons is an interesting idea
but CRIMINAL PROSECUTION? is Gilli high? Is weed legal in NY?

And she was 100% correct.Reminder of where the Democrats were at before Bernie came along
Just because Bernie's willing to lead people on and pretend that it's possible to get the votes for it doesn't mean that it's actually possible to get the votes for it.
IIRC global manufacturing productivity has been getting clobbered by the Trump tariffs and having spillover effects like this everywhere.
I'm fairly certain that experts say an AR is actually one of the worse choices for home defense. Too unweildy. Shotguns are useful since you don't need to be super accurate.
Definitely could be wrong though.
Right, AR-15s are long and unwieldy in close quarters. They're more suited for target shooting or hunting. If you had to have a gun for home self defense, a handgun would me much more suitable. Or you could just use a bat or a knife, which for 99 percent of people would be more than enough.
You don't, it's a ridiculous argument.
I've heard it's actually less effective at home protection than a handgun.
30 feral hogs and all.
Truthfully much of it really is just purely gun culture out of control.
That community really loves guns, and the more rounds they can fire more quickly is more fun at the range. Like there actually are lots of responsible gun owners, but they just do not need something that powerful to get their kicks.
Or a shotgun. The noise alone is deafening in close quarters and can scare off an assailant.
Its the people that spend 400$ on gov tax stamps and 2000$ in parts to make their AR short and put a suppressor on it. Theyre just justifying the insane price theyre paying for their gucci home defense gun
Ford, Carter & Reagan supported the AR ban. Yes, it's gun culture.
Yep. Even just a blank chambered as a warning shot would 99.9% of the time do the trick.
They will just put it on obama and/or the next president if not reelected
Owning an AR is eventually going to have to be a prosecutable offense. The only other realistic choice is to do nothing. Anything in between is a half measure.
No, it doesn't mean you break down doors and search homes, but not making ownership a prosecutable offense is just a wink and a nod that everything stays effectively the same. It doesn't matter if we aren't manufacturing new ARs when the existing stock makes them as common as old game consoles. The used market will ensure that every prospective mass shooter has easy, easy access.
Well right the ban should have never been allowed to expire of course, but now the cat is kind of out of the bag. Regardless it needs to be put back into place and yes there should be a buyback. But criminal prosecution I don't think is gonna fly.
^ actually yeah I think it would be fine as long as you aren't actively serving warrants. If police come across one otherwise sure charge for it like hey, it's not legal to have this and we're taking it and here is a charge and a fine because you didn't do the buyback like you were supposed to.
I thought if it were a legitimate rape a woman can't get pregnant. At least the gop moved on to, well they can but it's a good thing.
Have you ever read anything so stupid that afterwards you have to go "fuck, I need to lie down."
Because fuck, I need to lie down.
Jeff Jackson just ruled out running for a US Senate seat next year. He said it would force him to be away from his family too much.
I guess there's always 2022 in what will be an open seat because Burr is retiring. If anyone can win in what will likely be a bounce back election for the GOP it's him.
Edit: I was beaten by like half an hour, lol.

Man, Steve and Louie G are masters of 'going out of your way to appear as cognitively dense as possible to make vague, simple points'. Nobody thinks children born out of incest are. . . 'lesser' human beings, Steve. That's you. But with black people.
And to preempt his point with that toxic pro-rape preamble, I—I'm dead.

Right, what's dangerous now is Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson, etc on YouTube.
And even that's saturated at this point. We should have been concerned about that through the 2000's.
Wonder what the next frontier is. VR?
Literally only Trump wants it, and the only reason is that in his mind ilhe is "sticking it" to Comey and Obama.

I like it, but it's too little too late from her. Reeks of desperation.

I don't even know what to say other than stripping him of his committee assignments wasn't enough. He should be in fucking jail.
